Perfect for the shaded garden! An outstanding foliage plant, excellent as an edging or specimen in perennial gardens or mixed plantings or as a small-scale ground cover. Attractive with ferns and astilbe. White or lavender lilylike flowers.

Beautiful flowers and foliage develop a sweet, new-mown-hay fragrance when dried. Gives a fresh scent to potpourri and sachets, and makes a flavorful tea. Used to sweeten German May wine. Attractive in the rock garden, herb garden and as a ground cover.

Ferns are a wonderful addition to the shade garden, with a variety of unique textures, from soft and deeply cut to bold and lance-shaped. Available in sizes perfect for low edgings, taller backgrounds or filler. Combine with hosta, astilbe, and jacob's ladder for a nice blend of texture and color. Prefers moist, acidic, humus-rich soils.
